I am using Getstream.io nodejs module.
I am creating feeds at run time and want to know if there is a way to delete a feed through code?.
I see in the code base that there is a delete interface but when I looked in to RESTFul API documentation, I did not find any end point to delete a feed.
But when I look at Ruby documentation, I see that there is way to delete a feed.
Please let me know how can I achieve deleting a feed in getstream.io from nodejs
I was able to delete a feed using nodejs. It is just a hack but it will work.
But remember that deleting a feed means, it deletes all the activities from the feed. The feed still exists and can be seen through databrowser. The follow/following relationship still exists.
DeleteFeed = function(params,callback){
if (params.feedId) {
var feed = client.feed(params.feedType, params.feedId);
//remove followings
feed.following({limit:25,offset:0},function(err,r){
if (!err) {
for (var i = 0; i < r.body.results.length; i++) {
var tempFeed = r.body.results[i].target_id.split(':');
feed.unfollow(tempFeed[0], tempFeed[1]);
}
}
});
// do something similar as followings for followers
//(I did not have to worry about it hence did not write any code)
client.delete({
url: "feed/" + params.feedType + "/" + params.feedId + "/",
signature: feed.signature
}, function (e, r) {
//DO NOTHING
//console.log("Error -- " + e);
//console.log("Result -- " + JSON.stringify(r,null,2));
});
}
};
The delete operation is currently not supported by the nodejs client library. There is an api endpoint that supports this operation: feed, but the delete operation is not documented on the REST docs. You can delete feeds from the databrowser on the getsream.io dashboard.
